BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

This invention relates to an anti-theft subject for rental whichprevents a disc recording music and screen image in a commodity receivedin a receiving case of a manufacturer from being stolen.

2. Description of the Related Art

In the case of displaying a receiving case or a receiving tray for adisc shipped from the manufacturer to a shop, the receiving case is leftopen so as to easily pick up the received disc. Accordingly, the disc isstolen.

Therefore, the disc is displayed in a state of wrapping the receivingcase of the disc by a transparent synthetic resin bag (JapaneseUnexamined Patent Publication No. 7-257675).

However, since the bag can be easily opened or torn up, the disc isstolen.

Accordingly, for the purpose of preventing the disc from being stolenfrom the receiving case or the receiving tray receiving the disc at atime of displaying, there is a structure in which the disc receivingtray in the patent document 1 is received in a display case in a shopside.

A combined system between the display case mentioned above and the discreceiving case or the disc receiving tray is structured, as shown inFIGS. 22 to 26, such that a receiving case 4 and a receiving tray areformed by a sheet 2 having a folded bending portion 1 in a middleportion, and a tray main body 3 fixed to one side of inner surfacesbetween an end edge of the sheet 2 and the bending portion 1 in anoverlapping manner in accordance with an adhesion, and a disc 6 receivedin a receiving recess portion 5 of the tray main body 3 is covered byanother side of the sheet 2.

A display case 7 receiving the receiving case 4 is constituted by boxbody 10 formed by a bottom wall 8, and side walls 9 and 9 continuouslyprotruding from both side edges of the bottom wall 8, and a lid body 16formed by an end wall 12 flexibly connected to one end edge of thebottom wall 8 via a half-cut hinge 11, a lid wall 14 flexibly connectedto the end wall 12 via a half-cut hinge 13, and side walls 15 and 15continuously protruding from both side edges of the lid wall 14 andcovered on an outer side of the side wall 9.

The tray main body 3 is fitted to the box body 10 together with one ofthe sheet 2, and another of the sheet 2 in the receiving case 4 isfitted to the lid body 16 of the display case 7, as shown in FIG. 23.

At this time, the tray main body 3 is stably received in the box body 10by accommodating a front surface side edge of the tray main body 3 bymeans of a flexible accommodating piece 17 connected to an open edge ofthe side walls 9 and 9 of the display case, and the sheet 2 is held byforming a C-shaped notch shown in FIG. 22 in a side edge of the lid wall14 and inserting the side edge of the sheet 2 to a back side of apressing piece 19 in an inner side of the notch 18.

Further, the display case 7 is maintained in a closed state by passinglocking bar members 21 in both side edges of a plate-like body 20through locking bar inserting portions 22 which are provided in athinking comb shape so as to protrude to inner side surfaces of the sidewalls 9, 9, 15 and 15 of the box body 8 and the lid body 16 and arefitted in an engaging manner so as to be arranged in series, whileinserting the plate-like body 20 to an inner side from matching endedges of the bottom wall 8 and the lid wall 14 after closing the displaycase 7 as shown in FIGS. 24 and 25.

The structure is made such that a locking hook 24 of the plate-like body20 is engaged with an inner locking portion 23 of the display case 7under a condition that the display case 7 is maintained in the closedstate, thereby preventing the plate-like body 20 from being pulled up.

In this case, the plate-like body 20 can be pulled up by getting out thelocking hook 24 from the locking portion 23 so as to cancel theengagement relation, while fitting a pin of a canceling device (notshown) to a through hole 26 passing through the locking portion 23 andpressing back the locking hook 24 by a leading end of the pin.

In the structure obtained by combining the receiving case and thedisplay case, since one sheet of the receiving case and the overlappedtray main body are prevented from being escaped with respect to the boxbody of the display case, by means of the accommodating piece 17, it isnecessary to turn up the accommodating piece 17 so as to fit one side ofthe sheet to the tray main body and to bring down the accommodatingpiece 17 so as to achieve an engaging relation after fitting.Accordingly, since a significantly lot of trouble is taken and thebrought-down accommodating piece faces to a peripheral edge portion ofthe received disc (refer to FIG. 23), it is necessary to execute atroublesome operation of turning up the accommodating piece to acollision avoiding position at a time of taking out the disc, andfalling down the accommodating piece to the position under the engagingrelation after fitting the disc. Because the recording surface of thedisc is scratched by the accommodating piece facing to the plate surfaceof the disc in the case that the disc is taken out from the receivingrecess portion while the accommodating piece is kept as it is.

Further, since the end wall is continuously formed in the bottom wall ofthe box body via the half-cut hinge, and the lid wall of the lid body iscontinuously formed in the end wall via the half-cut hinge, the lid bodyat a time of opening falls down, in the case of opening and closing thelid body with respect to the box body of the display case (refer to FIG.23). At this time, since another side of the sheet is pressed down tothe inner surface of the lid wall in the lid body by the pressing piece,another side of the sheet of the receiving case falls down.

Accordingly, since the lid body is pulled up together with another sideof the sheet every time when the display case is closed, and the lidbody is next fallen down so as to cover the disc, a troublesome problemis generated.

Further, the sheet and the tray main body which are fitted to the boxbody are slipped toward the lid body side by the sheet which is opentogether with the lid body in accordance with the opening of the lidbody.

Accordingly, there is generated a problem that the tray main bodyslipping at a time of closing the lid body and partly escaping orprotruding from the box body struts so as to prevent the lid body frombeing smoothly closed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

A description will be given of embodiments in accordance with theinvention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In a first embodiment in accordance with the invention, as shown inFIGS. 1 to 6, a display case K is formed by a box body 33 structured bya bottom wall 31 and a peripheral wall 32 protruding to an inner surfaceside of the bottom wall 31 from each of line edges of the bottom wall31, and a lid body 35 provided in one line of the box body 33 via anappropriate hinge 34 so as to open and close an opening of the box body33.

The lid body 35 mentioned above is structured by a lid wall 36 in anillustrated case, and a peripheral wall 37 protruding in a back surfacedirection of the lid wall 36 from the other line edges than one line ofthe lid wall 36. The hinge 34 mentioned above is formed by tube portionswhich are provided in a sinking comb shape in one open edge of theperipheral wall 32 and the line wall having no peripheral wall 37 in theillustrated case and are arranged in series in accordance with a fittingin an engagement manner, and a pin inserted to the tube portions.However, the hinge is not limited to a pin hinge. Further, as shown inFIG. 6, the structure is made such that a connection wall 39 iscontinuously formed in the bottom wall 31 via a half-cut hinge 38, thelid wall 36 of the lid body 35 is continuously formed in the connectionwall 39 via a half-cut hinge 40, and the connection wall 39 is outsidecontacted with the peripheral wall 32 at a time of closing the openingof the box body 33 by the lid body 35. However, the structure is notlimited to this. For example, the structure may be made such that thelid wall 36 of the lid body 35 is continuously formed in an open edge ofone line of the peripheral wall 32 via a half-cut hinge (not shown).

Of course, the peripheral wall 37 of the lid body 35 is not limited tothree lines (shown in FIG. 1) except the line in a side of the hinges 34and 40, but may be constituted only by a line opposing to the hinge 40(which does not correspond to the structure provided in both sides shownin FIG. 6).

In the case that a molding synthetic resin of a display case K issemi-transparent or opaque, the receiving case A received in the displaycase K can not be seen through. Accordingly, it is preferable that athrough window 41 having an appropriate shape is provided in only thelid wall 36 or both the lid wall 36 and the bottom wall 31 so as to seethrough.

Further, a lock apparatus B is provided in a desired line of the displaycase K. The lock apparatus B is provided so as to be unlocked from theother sides than a shop side as shown in FIG. 4, and such that a lockingpart 42 can be recovered to the shop in accordance with the unlockingoperation in the shop side.

As the lock apparatus B mentioned above, for example, as shown in FIGS.1 to 6, tubular bodies 43 are provided in one line of each of the boxbody 33 and the lid body 35 so as to be alternately fitted to each otherunder a closed condition and be arranged in series in a fitting state,and a slider 44 serving as the locking part 42 shown in FIG. 4 isinserted to the tubular bodies 43 arranged in series. Accordingly, theslider 44 serves as a locking bar so as to inhibit the lid body 35 frombeing left open with respect to the box body 33, and it is possible toinhibit the slider 44 from being taken out from the other sides than theshop side on the basis of an engagement relation between one lockingportion 45 and another locking hook 46 which are provided in opposingsurfaces of the slider 44 and the tubular body 43 as shown in FIG. 5. Inother words, the engagement relation is set such that the locking hook46 in which a push-back is cancelled is caught on the locking portion 45in accordance that the insertion of the slider 44 is finished, in theillustrated case, however, the engagement relation may be achievedmanually. The engagement relation is cancelled in the shop side and theslider 44 serving as the locking part 42 is recovered to the shop side,for example, by magnetically sucking the locking hook 46 made of ironpierce, canceling the engagement between the locking hook 46 and thelocking portion 45 and pulling out the slider 44.

In this case, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a projection 47 protruding toan upper side in the drawing is inserted and fitted to a notch 48provided in an end edge of the tubular body 43 in one end from aterminal end of the slider 44 so as to form an insertion stopper of theslider 44. In addition, the projection 47 is brought into contact with amagnet canceling device (not shown) and thereafter the display case K orthe canceling device is slid. At this time, when sliding the cancelingdevice while holding the display case K or sliding the display case Kwhile holding the canceling device, the slider 44 is pulled out due toan engagement of the projection 47.

Of course, the canceling device is not limited to the magnet type, butcan employ a system of canceling the engagement relation between thelocking hook 46 and the locking portion 45 while pushing back thelocking hook 46 by pressing a projection or a protruding shaft of thecanceling device in the shop side, or a system, for example, shown inFIG. 12 of Japanese Patent Application No. 2000-345923.

As the other lock apparatus B than the apparatus mentioned above, forexample, there is a lock apparatus in which a tubular body is providedin one of both the peripheral walls 32 and 37 of the box body 33 and thelid body 35, an L-shaped hook piece is provided in another, and a hookpiece inserted and fitted into the tubular body from a through window ofthe tubular body in accordance with a closing operation of the displaycase K is provided, whereby the hook piece is caught on the slider byinserting the slider serving as the locking part so as to maintain aclosed state of the display case K.

Of course, the locking portion 45 and the locking hook 46 having thesame engagement relation as mentioned above are provided in the opposingsurfaces of the slider, and the tubular body and the hook piece.

In this case, as the structure of the other lock apparatus B, it ispossible to appropriately select and use a structure in Japanese PatentApplication No. 10-34929, a structure in Japanese Patent Application No.11-212589, a structure in Japanese Patent Application No. 2000-190291and the like. The locking system is used in correspondence to thestructure.

In fact, it is preferable that the structure is made such as to put thereceiving case A of the disc a in the display case K so as to close thedisplay case K, thereafter lock the lock apparatus B in the shop side,and recover the locking part 42 used for unlocking in the shop side inaccordance with the rent to the shop side.

As a result, since the locking part 42 does not exist in the convertedrental display case K, the display case K is not locked at a time ofhandling.

As shown in FIG. 2, the receiving case A received in the display case Kis structured by a box body 51 receiving the disc a, and a lid body 54in which ends of both side walls 53 and 53 are rotatably mounted to bothside wall ends of the box body 51 via a pin 52.

Further, the box body 51 of the receiving case A is fitted to the boxbody 33 of the display case K, and the lid body 54 is fitted to the lidbody 35.

At this time, the hinges 34, 38 and 40 of the display case K and the pin52 of the hinge are set in a parallel state and at a close position.

Then, the lid body 35 of the display case K is opened, and the lid body54 of the receiving case A is next opened.

The lid bodies 35 and 54 can be simultaneously opened as mentioned belowin the opening mentioned above.

The opened lid body 54 is brought into contact with the peripheral wall32 of the box body 33, and does not fall down in a direction of thefallen lid body 35 from a solid line in FIG. 8 after rising up afterbeing opened. Further, when an end edge in a side of the pin 52 of thehinge in the side wall 53 rises up the lid body 54, it is in contactwith an inner surface of the bottom wall 31 as shown in FIG. 10 so as toprevent the lid body from falling down.

Accordingly, the closing operation of the lid body 54 of the receivingcase A can be achieved only by pushing down from the uprising position,in place of the conventional troublesome operation of pulling up the lidbody from the above of the lid body 35 and next pushing down to theclosed position, so that the closing operation can be smoothlyperformed.

In accordance with a second embodiment of the invention, as shown inFIGS. 1, 3 and 8, the structure is made such that the pin 52 side of thehinge of the box body 51 in the receiving case A is prevented fromgetting out by a movement preventing means 56, within the box body 33 ofthe display case K.

Accordingly, the box body 51 does not get out from the box body 33 inaccordance with the opening of the lid body 54 of the receiving case A,and it is possible to smoothly open the lid body 54.

The movement preventing means 56 mentioned above is provided byprotruding the pressing piece so as to oppose to the bottom wall 31continuously from the upper edge of the peripheral wall 32, in theillustrated case, however, an independent part may be mounted.

In fact, it is possible to prevent the get-out by pressing the pin 52side of the hinge in the box body 51.

Of course, the peripheral wall 32 having the movement preventing means56 may be protruded from a necessary part, for example, only a parthaving the movement preventing means 56, in place of being protrudedfrom all the length of the illustrated bottom wall 31.

Further, since the movement preventing means 56 mentioned aboveaccommodates (presses) a line P (FIG. 11) in a side of the pin 52 of thehinge in the box body 51, the movement preventing means 56 accommodatesonly the box body 51 by protruding the end in the side of the pin 52 ofboth the side walls 53 in the lid body 54 to the line edge of the lidbody 35 and mounting the protruding end to the side wall of the box body51 via the pin 52, and does not accommodates the lid body 54.

Reference numeral 57 in the drawing denotes a window formed in the lidwall 36 for forming a piece of the movement preventing means 56.

In accordance with a third embodiment of the invention, an anti-thefttag C is provided in the locking part 42 recovered to the shop side.

The tag C has a specific ID code as is well known (for example, inJapanese Patent Application No. 11-338353), and is structured such thata resonance circuit resonates on the basis of generation ofhigh-frequency electromagnetic field placed in an entrance door so as tomodulate the high-frequency electromagnetic field in accordance withtransmission of the specific ID code, at a time of passing through theentrance door of the shop, thereby detecting bringing out of the shop.

Accordingly, it is possible to inhibit the commodity displayed on theshelf in the shop under the locked condition of the lock apparatus Bfrom being brought out, and the troublesome shielding operation of thedisplay case K and the article (a bag or the like) are not required byrecovering the locking part 42 to the shop at a time of converting thedisplay case K for rent.

Reference numeral 59 in FIGS. 8 to 11 denotes a protruding portion forforming a gap provided in the inner surface of the peripheral wall 32 inthe side of the hinges 34 and 38 of the box body 33. The gap is formedbetween the peripheral wall 32 and the box body 51 by this protrudingportion 59, thereby avoiding the strut between the pin 52 side end edgeof the side wall 53 in the opening and closing lid body 54 and theperipheral wall 32 and securing a smooth opening and closing operationof the lid body 54.

In accordance with a fourth embodiment of the invention, as shown inFIG. 12, a receiving case A′ received in the display case Kin accordancewith the first embodiment is structured by the box body 51, and the lidbody 54 which is provided in one line of the peripheral wall of the boxbody 51 via a half-cut hinge 61 so as to be freely opened and closed.

The half-cut hinge 61 mentioned above is structured by continuouslyforming a bottom wall 63 of the box body 51 in a lower edge of aconnection wall 62 in one line of the peripheral wall of the box body 51and the lid body 54 via the hinge 61, and forming a lid wall 64 of thelid body 54 in an upper edge of the connection wall 62 via the half-cuthinge 61 (for example, forming a synthetic resin), as shown in FIG. 14.However, a connection wall 62 of the box body 51 and the lid body 54 canonly be the half-cut hinge 61 in an upper edge.

Since the structure of the display case K receiving the receiving caseA′, and the structure of the lock apparatus B (having the tag C providedin the locking part 42) are the same as those of the first embodiment,and the operations and the effects of the locking and unlocking are thesame, a description will be omitted.

Accordingly, since the lid body 54 of the receiving case A′ has thehalf-cut hinge 61, the lid body 54 does not fall down in a direction ofcarrying on the opening operation from the uprising position, at a timeof opening the receiving case A′, in the display case K.

Accordingly, it is possible to do away with the troublesome labor ofpulling up the lid body 54 and next pushing down the lid body 54 in theclosing direction.

Further, a locking means S for preventing the box body 51 from gettingout from the box body 33 is provided in the box body 33 of the displaycase K and the box body 51 fitted to the box body 33.

The locking means S mentioned above is structured such that a lockingrelation is achieved by fitting a recess portion 71 in one surfacearound the receiving case A′ to a protruding piece 72 protruding from aninner surface of the peripheral wall 32 of the display case K as shownin FIGS. 13 and 14 at a time of fitting the box body 51 to the box body33, whereby the box body 51 does not get out of the box body 33 at atime of opening the lid body 54.

Further, in addition to the structure mentioned above, the structure maybe made such that a projection 74 in the peripheral wall of the box body33 is fitted and locked to a hole 73 in the peripheral wall of the boxbody 51, as shown in FIGS. 15, 16 and 17.

At this time, the hole 73 and the projection 74 may be provided only inone of the opposing peripheral walls of the box body 33 in FIG. 16, ormay be provided in both the opposing peripheral walls as shown in FIG.17.

In fact, the structure may be made such that it is possible to inhibitthe box body 51 from getting out of the box body 33 at a time of openingthe lid body 54.

Accordingly, the box body 51 does not get out of the box body 33 inaccordance with the opening of the lid body 54, and it is possible tosmoothly open the lid body 54.

Further, a protruding portion 59 is provided also in an inner surface ofthe display case K receiving the receiving case A′ in accordance with afourth embodiment or in the side of the half-cut hinge 61.

In accordance with a fifth embodiment of the invention, a notch portion75 to which a fitted fingertip is pressed or hooked so as to open onlythe display case K or both the display case K and the receiving cases Aand A′ is provided in a desired position, for example, a line opposingto the hinge 34 or both side lines of the hinge 34, around the displaycase K receiving the receiving case A in accordance with the firstembodiment and the display case A receiving the receiving case A′ inaccordance with the fourth embodiment.

The notch portion 75 mentioned above is formed by notching only theperipheral walls 32 and 37, the portion from the peripheral walls 32 and37 to the bottom wall 31, or a part of a portion from the peripheralwall 32 to the lid wall 36.
